G. W. Bush will be remembered as the worst U.S. President. He has lied (about atrocities leading to the Iraq invasion and about the weapons of mass destruction) and fooled the American public (by using a "veil of God" to distract the public's focus away f/ his sinister, selfish intentions) for his own personal agenda.(He answered Hussein's assasination attempt on his father's life by invading Iraq.)
It's virtually impossible for me to project a worse President.(If we elect anyone worse than him, it would probably mean the end of the world ... unless Bush has already initiated the apocolypse)
He withdrew the US f/ the international summit to deal w/ global warming.
He has ignored America's dependency on oil cuz that would hurt his Texas buddies.
The future of the US economy is in globalization ... something he has no clue to what that means.
He doesn't care about the thousands of Americans w/ shattered financial security because of the abomidable high cost of medical.
If ppl can't afford health insurance, how do they pay the expenses incurred when a loved one is hospitalized?

Whoever gets commercial space flights going first, Bob Dylan, the Presidents because they'll be documented in history books, some writers (Kurt Vonnegut, Joyce Carol Oates, maybe Stephen King, others), famous astronauts because outer space might be more important in everyday life. These are only vague guesses.

Think about who we remember from the 16th century? Some of the kings of England like Henry VII and Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Explorers Vasco de Gama and Magellan. Writers Cervantes and Shakespeare. Da Vinci and Nostradamus and maybe some remember Suleyman and his conquest of Iraq.
So who will be remembered from our time? I think Martin Luther King, the Popes, Princess Diana. I can't think of a modern writer who deserves to be remembered 500 years from now, but maybe they will be. I don't think any celebrities will be remembered unless it would be Elvis or the Beatles. Maybe John Glenn for his moonwalk and Kennedy (JFK).

The Bush Family! Because in 100 years all confidential documents will be released to the public and they will finally be descovered for the crooks they are. They will go down in history the same way Hilter has. Nobody forgets when that much innocent blood is spilled.

George Washington if you consider he is thought of for founding the country. (I know he isn't alive but maybe stories will say he kept reincarnateing or was immortal).
Michael Jackson for being the first convinceing sex change (like they are going to know details from 500 years ago).
Bill Gates as a God or Hero from ancient times to this time period (there are characters and races in history like that,.. like the Amazons... they are real and still exsist but blown out of porportion in our fantasies as some giants... watch Futurama... people really think they are/were like that).
Stephen King ( Novelist/Authors hold up well through history, though his life may be slightly twisted... it would be the least changed of all I mentioned).

That's a tough question...It would have to be the most philanthropic person, and yes...actually that would be Mr. Bill Gates. Warren Buffet would be a close second. I wish were Tony Robbins though...
